Finding the way

What should happen while Eren and Levi are alone together?

B) Levi gets Eren to tell a little of his backstory. 1

Should Jean, Connie and the others already know Eren?

2)Yeah, they could have like a street gang thing going on. 1

Should their walk be uneventful?

Z) Yeah, they just talk and try to figure out what happened to Armin. 1

Eren held the door, he sniffed at the air. Sighing, he glared up at the sky. It was still grey. He snorted shaking his head. Levi came out behind him. Eren didn't say anything as he moved toward the spot he had found Armin. The lanky teen knelt down. He touched a few drops of blood. Armin? He signed rubbing the drying, sticky substance between his fingers. Armin had done everything he could to save himself long enough to reach Eren. Now, it was Eren's turn.

He stood. Following the splattered drips and drops, Eren began to walk along the sidewalk. Levi was close beside him. He sniffed at the blood on the others fingers. Glancing up at the sky, he too, sighed.

"We don't have long." He insisted. The rain wasn't far off. Eren only nodded.

"A fae out here.. in the city... not a great place for him." Levi stated.

"He worked nearby. I've been trying to get a job." Eren insisted.

"Well, now you have one. Honestly if you had just told me that first time..." Levi shrugged.

Eren didn't answer. They walked in silence for some time. The drops of blood were far between for a about a quarter of a mile. Then, they found the place of the attack. It was close to the highway. A large grouping of trees framed either side of the road. Eren growled! This was Armin's favorite place.

"He must have stopped here." Eren muttered.

"Admiring the trees? Regaining some energy?" Levi knelt to look at the large pool of blood.

"No one in the know would attack a fae creature so close to nature." He stated.

"Zeke wouldn't care." Eren pointed out.

"Zeke didn't do this." Levi stood.

In his hand he held a broken piece of a beer bottle. There was blood costing the slimy green color of it.

"He may have stumbled into something he wasn't meant to see." Levi said.

"Armin, no, he wouldn't do that." Eren chuckled dryly. "That's more my thing." He offered.

"This was where he was stabbed, but look..." Eren pointed to the footprints in the dirt next to the road. They weren't just standing still.

"He was being chased." Levi nodded.

"Yeah, and his stuff isn't here." Eren pointed out.

They began to walk, following the footprints now. For a time they were silent, intent on what the ground was showing them. Eren spoke softly.

"I was six when I met him." He muttered. Levi said nothing. He was a little afraid to even look up at the boy.

"Dad always captured creatures. Some were more human than others. Armin, he was... different. So tiny and shy. Zeke bullied him from the first day." Eren's lips curved at the memory.

"It was how we got to talking." He added.

Kneeling, he checked on a group of footprints. His hand seemed to glow slightly as Levi watched. The prints appeared to stand out a little more. No, that wasn't entirely true. Only one set of prints began to stand out. They soft greenish glow of them came up brighter than the others that were jumbled together.
